Four Reasons A Householder Wouldn’t Visit A Brahmana

“If it is asked, ‘Why don't the householders go to a saintly person or a brahmana for enlightenment?’ the answer is that householders are very poor-hearted. Generally householders think that their engagement in family affairs is their prime duty and that self-realization or enlightenment in spiritual knowledge is secondary. Out of compassion only, saintly persons and brahmanas go to householders' homes.” (Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vol 1, Ch 8)
